How to unlock the Niche Position achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

Hidden Location 1: At the Crossroads, go behind the Nail structure to find a series of ledges. On one of these ledges is a tunnel with some wooden boards in the entrance. Go through the tunnel for the location, a collectible, and a chest (which spawns enemies).



Hidden Location 2: At the top of the Warehouse elevator (floor 6), go behind the elevator and you can break the wall here to reveal a control point.



Hidden Location 3: Standing at the entrance to the Warehouse tower on level 1, look up and you'll see another entrance above on the same side. You need to float down to this hole from a higher level (try level 5, out the window and around to the other side of the building). Please note that there is an entrance on the same wall higher up - the hidden location is the lower one.



Hidden Location 4: In Collapsed Department, in the multi-level area with lots of office rooms. From where you enter, take a right and go into the lit-up office with a painting. Breaking the wall to reveal this hidden area. There is also a second breakable wall inside that leads to a Maneki-neko.



Hidden Location 5: In Collapsed Department, the same area as Location 4. Go up to the top left side (south on the map) and locate another lit-up office with a painting on the wall. Break the wall and head inside.



Hidden Location 6: In Collapsed Department, near the transit area where the film camera was stored before you move it. On the right side is a small elevator, activate it then step off to get underneath.



Hidden Location 7: In Collapsed Department, after you pass through the room that held the film camera. Take a left and there's a elevator you can open, an enemy pops out. Step inside the elevator for this location.



Hidden Location 8: In the Canyon Rim area there is a passageway with two wooden beams crossing over it. The closest control point is Astral Collision, from there turn right and look down to find it. Grab the golden cube nearby, then turn left around the corner to launch it into one of the bathroom stalls. Float into the other stall for this location. After you do this you can also go to the Astral Bathroom location in the Collapsed Department to find a golden cube and put it in the socket for a Maneki-neko.



Hidden Location 9: In the Canyon Rim area, right beside the Astral Tower PE control point is a raised platform with a TV on it that counts as a hidden location. Upper right in the screenshot.



Hidden Location 10: In the Cave System Area, you will need to progress until the point you unlock the Cave Bridge control point. From here, levitate across to the farthest stone bridge on the east side. Head into the side room here for the location.

I had a bunch left over from the main game before even starting this DLC. Pretty sure that’s normal, you didn’t need to go to every hidden location in the main game (there’s no achievement for it IIRC), I just happened to want to do it, and ended up with an excess of points.

Edit: there’s also a couple of secret missions (luck room, tv furnace) that I think give you extras too.

Won’t unlock after 3 visits to each hidden area and ability points received. Stuck at 60% completion for final achievement.

The quitting to main menu trick worked for me. It still took a couple of minutes sitting in main menu before the achievement popped up.

To clarify number 9, this is next to Astral Tower (not Platform) PE.

Deleted all save files, uninstalled, started brand new game and again checked all areas with tracker turned on and no joy. Seems a few people are impacted by this bug and have submitted a bug report via Control support site and 505 bug reports. Hopefully they release a patch

As soon as the dlc goes on offer I will buy these.
Not going to bother hunting the hidden areas in the main game for now (got 7 or 8).
As I’ll get several for the missions here, and then you need them in this dlc anyway. So that will push me past the 100 needed for the base achievement without fretting..

Glitched!
Didn't enjoy playing this DLC and wouldn't have bought it had I known I couldn't complete it.

As a last resort restart the chapter and find the first hidden spot behind the Nail.

Outsmarted the glitch and saved me from having to track down the last 5 or so Collectibles.

Not popped for me. I noticed my counter didn’t move for no1 so guessing that one is glitched

This might not be glitched. The guide is wrong somehow as the last hidden area is in the warehouse, but you need to go to the 3rd floor, and go up the the hole in the wall, then float down going clockwise around the tower to enter another area of the warehouse. This is where I found one of my missing items.

Definitely glitched for me, tried a few guides, made the rounds to all of them multiple times, tried peoples advice to reset abilities and craft a mod before trying again but still nothing.

Very annoying that this will be my only left over achievement

Try hidden location 8 again, float into the toilet and head into the right side cubicle to find a loot box. I assumed I already had this secret area because I had the cat, but apparently not 👍

Yeah I got all of them and didn't know what I was missing. Thank you Darrenlloyd for the location, as it was the last one I needed. Guide is definitely missing this one, even in mid 2022.

Cheers boys.

My guide has 10 locations listed like every other one on the internet. If you can provide proof of an 11th location I'd be happy to add it.

I'm almost certain people keep getting #3 wrong. There is a higher window that IS NOT a hidden location. I got this one wrong myself when I was going for the achievement, and when I went for this achievement again on the Windows version I knew it was the lower window and had no problem at all with this achievement.

Hidden location #3 above - there are actually two windows on that side of the building, when you jump out at level 5 and float down the first one you find is _not_ the hidden location. I ended up exploring lower on that same wall and found it. If you're missing one, that might be it.

You can max out all the abilities and have left over ability points; this includes the hidden locations in the main game and all side quests.

I haven't done anything in the Jukebox so I'm not sure if that gives you ability points, but after doing everything in the main game - I've currently unlocked all hidden locations and completed all sidequests in the main game and the Foundation DLC - I have every ability maxed out and 7 ability points left over.

There are a total of 10 hidden locations in the DLC. I recommend hunting for them after you've received both Foundation skills (Fracture and Shape). Follow this video for their exact locations (credit to Redemption Gaming):
